    Great driving sim. The presentation is bad but who cares, the physics and the feel on the road especially with a wheel is perfect. Should be 40 bucks but who cries for 10 bucks? Probably babies who also say that the game is hard. Of course its hard, its a sim...

    If what you are looking for is the best, most accurate driving representation of driving a car, this is the best game out there on consoles. Physics and FFB feel amazing, every single car feels different. Graphics are good although there isn't as much 'decoration' as most simcade racing games tend to offer it's just you, the track and your opponents. Sounds are excellent too.

    I don't get people. Assetto Corsa really shines where it counts most: The driving feeling. Even though it feels incredibly realistic and organic, it's actually pretty easy to pick up.

    For me, this game is the best driving game ever made for a console, ok, have frame drops and screen tearing, but it realy doesn't affect much in gameplay, i've played since the release and i realy liked of what i saw.

    Very promising game, let's see what Kunos gonna do with it.

    This is a must own for everybody with a force feedback wheel. Believe me, every other driving on PS4 feels like a joke in comparison (except for DiRT Rally). I even thought my Thrustmaster 300 RS was kind of a disappointment, until I tried this true simulator. It just feels so right.

    AC gives an authentic driving experience, the feel of the ffb and physics are perfect, easy to drive slow but fun, hard to be consistently quick and win online races. Single player could use some improvements, but all aspects considered I don't want to drive anything else (apart from Dirt). 10/10

    Very impressive motorsport game. Its physics is amazing, providing the best sensations I've ever experienced in a racing game. Up to now, I had only played Forza and Project Cars.

Up to now, I had only played Forza and Project Cars. Although I had been satisfied with PCars and somewhat tired of Forza (too much fanfare and bad Force Feedback for wheel users), Assetto was a surprise I couldn't expect. Perhaps it still needs some minor improvements in terms of visuals, but nothing much IMO. I believe this game has lots of potential to become as beautiful as Project Cars, with a far better playability. As a SIM, a steering wheel is highly recommended to play it, for more immersion, although it's playable with a pad. The cars count is good enough, with a great selection of highly polished and desirable machines. To me, a higher count of tracks would be very welcome, but chances are new future additions would include new locations to fill in this gap. In short, this is a straight-to-the-point game with a nice visual, whose focus is entirely centered on racing and having fun with cars on the tracks. If you prefer to spend time painting, customizing and collecting cars rather than racing with them, maybe this is not the game for you.… Expand

    My opinion is that if you like drive this is the BEST racing game able to transmit the driving sensations. Is not perfect, but i incredible realistic. If you don't try it with a steer you'll never be able to understand what is. Otherwise, go back to a classic ARCADE game, Forza, gran Turismo or Project Cars (tha is all except a simulation....)

    The game is absolutely spot-on when it comes to driving.

    With the constant updates, AI is now better, you can adjust FOV, there's a good enough car representation on several classes... the game keeps getting better and better. The one thing that I wanted, and would make it a real gem in terms of racing, is more tracks. Maybe 5-8 more circuits. Missing american circuits such as Laguna Seca, Watkins Glen and Sonoma, and also a few others such as Interlagos.

    Assetto Corsa is arguably one of the best racing games on consoles, and with patches, It can only improve. It seems that the game is limited because of the less powerful consoles.

It seems that the game is limited because of the less powerful consoles. Finding the correct braking point on a circuit rewards the driver with great satisfaction and persuades you to master the circuit until you will never make a mistake again. If you are willing to try out a sim for the first time, you probably won’t want to go back to arcade or so called ‘simcades’ ever again. For between £30-40.00 and comparing that price tag range with other simulators which require payments for individual tracks and cars, it is a bargain. And, even better, console owners can now show off their racing talent. This is without doubt a must-buy for racing enthusiasts, and sensational to drive with a steering wheel. Kunos have created a new genre on to console and set the bar incredibly high. The likes of Gran Turismo and iRacing had an underdog with far less resources in their wing mirrors, and they may have just been overtaken. The gamble made by the small team in Italy has paid off. Hopefully, private lobbies are coming.… Expand

    Awesome sim, the driving experience is unmatched.

    Yes, the career mode is very barebones and there's little game to it, especially when compared with GT or Forza, but it's the sheer joy of driving that makes it unique.

    As for negatives, its a static racing line, not dynamic which is annoying but no deal breaker turn off the line its fun to play
    Not many graphical issues but theyll patch in fixes via official forum comms from devs
    The difficulty levels are not accurate, cant tell difference between easy, med or hard but devs said they will patch this also and know about it
    Some automatic gear boxes are broken on some cars but again devs said they will fix this via patch

    Project cars with more realistic FFB. No mods, Canadian exchange rate blows not spending $800 on a pc. Sense of speed blows. Graphics blow. Much less customization, for FFB that's good though. Cars and tracks blow. I bought it for 22 and 17 season pass . Season pass is pathetic.

    Maybe this game made to spread frustration on basic controllers drivers, but mine wasn't high enough to put me out if my mind and go for a 350€ wheel...Maybe I'm wrong but the cheap sound design is more a PS1 simulation sound than a motor sound simulation, but who knows, with a nice steering wheel it can be a relatively un-consequent and accessory feature.

    Mostly a game aimed at the most hardcore players of the racing simulation genre, Corsa won't find too many fans in the crowd. The console version also leaves the impression of an incomplete game that we just can't recommend.
